Even if Tang Yin was a king, it would be difficult to carry out the decision if the ministers under him did not support it.

Looking around the ministers present, he said, "I have decided on this matter, and I will never change it again. If you do not agree with me, then we will discuss it again. Today we must discuss it and come to a conclusion."

As soon as Tang Yin's voice dropped, Zhang Zhe stood up and said, "king, with the current treasury reserves, we can't afford to build so many academies and colleges."

"Then go and find a way for me." Tang Yin said in a deep voice: "don't tell me that the Treasury can't afford to support it. With so many counties and counties in China, how can we not support the construction of several academies and colleges?"

Zhang Zhe laughs bitterly, do not be in charge of a family is to know firewood, rice, oil and salt is expensive! There are many counties under the jurisdiction of Fengguo, but most of them have just been incorporated into Fengguo. All kinds of wastes are waiting to be prospered, and the taxes collected are pitifully small. Moreover, the Fengguo still has to support 11 legions, more than 1 million troops and horses, and the military expenses are huge. How can the Treasury save money?

"You can continue your discussion here! I want to go out and have a look first With these words, Tang Yin stood up, got off the throne, carried his hands, and walked out of the hall.

Tang Yin left, and all the ministers present were dumbfounded. What else can we discuss?

Not to mention how much money it costs to build so many academies and colleges all over the country, it is a great trick to select officials only by the examinations of academies and colleges. How can any other country choose officials in this way?

People looked at each other. Zhang Xin looked at Shangguan Yuanji and asked, "Mr. Right, what are we going to discuss here? Just now, didn't we have clearly raised our objection in front of the king? "

Shangguan Yuanji knocked on his forehead and murmured in a low voice: "it's troublesome!"

Zhang Zhe sighed and said: "our king, fighting in the battlefield is the most famous King, but how can we govern the country?"

In normal times, he would be scolded for saying so, but now, everyone has the same idea.

The commander-in-chief of Huben army, Nan Yan, looked at the people around him and said, "when will this wait? I'm still in a hurry to go back to the camp to practice Then he came to Qiu Zhen and said, "Qiu Xiang, why don't you go to talk to the king?"

Qiu Zhen looked at Nanyan and asked, "what does general Nan want me to say to the king?"

"Let's just say we've already discussed it"

Qiu Zhen immediately shook his head and said, "I won't go." The king's intention is to promulgate the decision immediately. However, the ministers' opinions are very clear, and they do not agree with it. What can I say to the king? What do you say?

Xiao MuQing, Liang Qi and other generals all gathered around and said, "Qiu Xiang, you'd better go and persuade the king, or you won't be a leader if you spend so much time!"

The opinions of the generals were immediately agreed by the civil servants and ministers. Zhang Xin also came together and said, "the king has always listened to Qiu Xiang's advice most. Now it is most appropriate for Qiu Xiang to persuade him."

All of you and I didn't give Qiu Zhen a chance to find an excuse. At last, he was really quarreled by the crowd. Qiu Zhen raised his hands and stopped the people around him. He shook his head weakly and said, "good, good. I'll go and persuade the king, this is the head office!"

Under the expectant eyes of the ministers and generals, Qiu Zhen went out of the hall and inquired about the guards. When he knew that Tang Yin had gone to the garden, he quickly walked over.

When he came to the garden, he saw Tang Yin sitting in the pavilion drinking tea. Qiu Zhen bowed his hand and said softly, "king!"

"What? Is there a result? " Tang Yin put down his tea cup and glared at Qiu Zhen.

"There is a result, but it is not a result to satisfy the king." Qiu Zhen said.

"I'll discuss it again." Tang Yin said categorically.

"Even if we discuss it again, I'm afraid it will still be the result." Qiu Zhen said cautiously.

"Oh?" Tang Yin laughed and wagered: "if you can't finish the discussion today, you can discuss it tomorrow. If you can't finish it tomorrow, you can continue to discuss the day after tomorrow. When the outcome of the negotiation can satisfy me, you can go out of the palace when you want."

"I know the rules of not killing the admonishing people, and I also know the principle of defending the people more than defending Sichuan. I allow you to raise objections, and I will not touch the dissidents. Therefore, you can discuss it, provided that I am satisfied."

Hearing the speech, Qiu Zhen sighed in a dark tone, and was full of doubts at the same time. He asked, "why is the king so persistent in this matter?"

"I know it's good for the wind."

"There is no such precedent among all the countries in the world. How can the king be sure that it will be right and beneficial to our country?"

Tang Yin wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain it. He turned around and asked, "Qiu Zhen, are you also against this decision?"

Qiu Zhen said, "yes, my Lord. Perhaps there are many disadvantages in the way of recommending officials in the king's eyes, but the generals in the army, such as General Xiao, General Liang, general Ziying, and so on, all rely on recommendation to become today's commander-in-chief. There are many successful examples. However, the imperial examination system recommended by the king is unprecedented in history and has too high risk. In terms of the current national conditions, it is not suitable for nationwide implementation. ""Even you think so," Tang Yin murmured. In his eyes, among the ministers, Qiu Zhen is the most open-minded. Even he thinks that the current recommendation system is better than the imperial examination system, and other people's ideas can be imagined.

Qiu Zhen continued: "if the king really wants to carry out the so-called imperial examination system, he should also put down the date of the implementation. When there is no war around our country and the national conditions are stable, we should select several counties and counties for trial implementation. First, we will see how the effect is, and then make a decision."

Tang Yin carefully considered his words for a long time, then slowly shook his head and said: "if we can't implement it today, let the ministers see that I soften this matter, and the resistance in the future will be even greater. At that time, the ministers will even more severely obstruct him."

After a pause, he added: "you are right. There are many successful examples of the recommendation system, but there are also many disadvantages. People are selfish. Don't tell me that you don't know that some officials recommend some useless mediocrity to the court for their own interests. Recommendation system must be changed! And it has to be changed immediately! "

Qiu Zhen could not deny that such a thing happened. He sighed, "this is a minority after all"

"is it a minority?" Tang Yin sneered and said, "my prime minister Qiu Zhen, don't treat people like you as honest and noble as you are. How many people can resist it when you put it in front of you

Qiu Zhen did not speak any more. He had nothing to say, because this dispute would only lead to a dead end. He could not tell who was right and who was wrong. He held back for a long time. He bowed his hand to Tang Yin and said, "my majesty, I'd like to leave for the time being."

"Yes Tang Yin answered softly, but without looking at him, he picked up his tea cup and drank it slowly.

As he said, if the imperial examination system can not be implemented today, then he will raise it later, and the voice of opposition will be even stronger, because it involves the fundamental interests of all the officials in Fengguo, and no one is willing to let this right out without any reason.

When Qiu Zhen returned to the main hall, the ministers who were waiting for his news gathered around him one after another and asked, "Qiu Xiang, how are you doing? Did the king give in? "

Oh! Qiu Zhen shook his head slowly and said, "the king said that if we can't come up with a satisfactory result today, no one can go away. We should stay in the palace and discuss all the time. When can the king be satisfied and when can we go home from the palace?"

"Ah?" The ministers were all stunned. What is this? Your majesty, you are suppressing the small with the big. You are determined!

As soon as Zhang Zhe sat down on the ground, he said, "in this case, then, we can only spend it with the king!"

Zhang Xin looked at him, and subconsciously touched his neck. He murmured in a low voice: "if the king is annoyed, we can't bear to go."

"If Mr. Zhang is afraid, he can go and shoot the king's horse." Zhang zheheng laughed.

Zhang Xin glared at him fiercely, but did not argue with him again this time. Shangguan Yuanji then said: "Lord Zhang is worried, the king is a Ming Jun, naturally will not indiscriminately kill dissenting ministers."

Tang Yin refused to appear, and the ministers of the court refused to give in, and the scene fell into a deadlock.

As time went by, the morning meeting, which started at mao'clock in the morning, dragged to noon and then to Youshi in the evening.

At the end of the day, the ministers did not eat a mouthful of food or drink a mouthful of water in the court hall. Many people were exhausted and sat in the hall one after another.

Tang Yin, who was in the garden, was leisurely, thirsty for tea and hungry for snacks. Although he spent a day with ministers, he was still in high spirits.

In the end, Cheng Jin saw that it was not a way to consume, so he secretly sent a secret archer to the back palace to find Yin Rou, and asked the princess to come forward and persuade the king.

After listening to the report of the secret arrow personnel, Yin Rou was also shocked. She knew the reason why the harem could not participate in the government affairs. However, Tang Yin trapped the ministers from leaving the palace and did not give them food or water to drink. This is not to say that he wanted to trap all the ministers in the palace!

Yin Rou went to the main hall of the front palace for the first time. Seeing that all the ministers on the scene collapsed like eggplants on the ground, she immediately said to the guards at the gate of the hall: "you go to prepare tea and rice for all the adults at once!"

"This" bodyguards looked at each other, no one moved.

Yan Rou angrily rebuked: "do you dare not listen to the orders of this palace?"

"I dare not! The princess has no idea. The king has ordered that no one is allowed to send water and food to the adults and generals. Those who violate the order will be beheaded. " The famous bodyguard whispered timidly.
